Every piece, meticulously crafted stitch by stitch, invites visitors to experience the individuality and creativity inherent in embroidery art.
The Art of Embroidery
The world created by "fabric and thread" extends far beyond mere hobbyist activities. Embroidery has evolved into a versatile form of art, influencing fashion, accessories, home decor, wedding items, and even fusing with other crafts. The breadth of expression in this medium holds infinite potential across various genres, including fashion, lifestyle, art, and design.
The festival will showcase works that embody the current essence of embroidery, illustrating its role as a creative outlet, a mode of expression, and a means to enhance everyday living. Attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in the multifaceted charm of embroidery.
We invite individuals from diverse backgrounds—be it fashion, craft, art, wedding planning, or interior design—to witness the evolving definition of embroidery through the festival.
